Montreal Impact edit

N'Diaye began playing in the Canadian Soccer League's first division in 2011 for the Montreal Impact Academy.[1] In his debut season, he helped Montreal secure a playoff berth.[2] Montreal would be eliminated from the postseason in the first round by Capital City.[3]

The following season, N'Diaye had another run in the inter-provincial circuit.[4][5] He would assist the club in securing another playoff berth by finishing second in the division.[6] In the first round of the postseason, Montreal would defeat Toronto FC's academy to advance to the next round.[7] Montreal would face the York Region Shooters in the semifinal and the club would successfully advance to the championship final.[8] He participated in the championship final match where Toronto Croatia defeated Montreal.[9] In his second season in the CSL league, he appeared in 21 matches and scored 5 goals.[10]

In 2013, he played with Montreal Impact's reserve team in the MLS Reserve League.[11] During the 2014 preseason, he was invited to the senior team's winter training camp.[12][13][10] He would make his first pre-season appearance in a friendly match against Orlando City SC.[14] Following his appearance against Orlando, he would appear in two additional matches for Montreal during the club's run in the 2014 Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic against Fluminense FC U23 and the New York Red Bulls.[15][16] In the early stages of the 2014 regular season, he was selected for the match against FC Edmonton in the 2014 Canadian Championship but remained on the bench throughout the match.[17][18]

After his training stint with the senior team, N'Diaye played the remainder of the season with the academy team in the United States-based Premier Development League.[19] Once the PDL season concluded, his efforts were recognized as he was awarded the team's top assists.[20]
